A detached second dwelling is the hardest thing on this list to verify, because the permitting rules differ by jurisdiction across Middle Tennessee and a structure that was finished without a permit is common. Three things decide whether it is what the listing says: whether it is permitted as a dwelling, whether it has its own kitchen and independent utilities, and whether the appraiser can give it value. Financing follows the appraisal, not the listing photograph, so we ask those three questions before the appraisal is ordered rather than after.
